What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?
The thought came to mind after reading a recent post about Baldurs Gate 3 here but it reminded me of the Japense only PSX game Mizzurna Falls where if you don't perform a certain action early in the game you are prevented from getting a true ending. While this might not be a traditional soft lock because you can still progress to a point it made me wonder none the less.
I understand BG3 might be a hard lock because the game abruptly comes to a close I am not going to get into the semantics. The only other soft locks I can think of are with Pokemon.
Shout out to the fan translation of Mizzurna Falls. An article on the ROMHacking.net website can be found here.
I guess this is tangentially related. RDR2 had the full ending for Author and then kept going. I didn't care what happened beyond that so I never finished the epilogue.
Aw you missed out on some fun parts of the game. If you were just playing for Arthur's story then I can understand why you'd stop there though.
I'll spoiler tag the stuff below but it's why I think the epilogue is worth it if you wanted closure on something dealing with Arthur.
!Micah is a totally bitch. Epilogue dealt with John dealing with him and that shit was great !<
